I have an 8yr old iMac I’ve been using and it is so very very slow. Unplanned, went to Best Buy to talk today and they weren’t interested in showing Macs at all, which is what I’m familiar with and partial to, but not necessarily set on. (They also told me that Macs only go up to an i5 processor, which upon a quick search appears to be wrong.)
From reading through a number of threads here on Mac and PC, it looks like I can maintain your recommendations and save maybe around $1000 by going the PC route. ($1500-2000 vs $2600-3000). As much as I love my mac, I’m feeling like from what I’m reading, I am paying extra for the name and familiarity. I am an “average user,” and likely wouldn’t feel the need to upgrade if it wasn’t for photoshop.
What am I missing? (Honestly I know almost nothing about these things, but I’m basing pricing off of your minimum recommendations. I don’t want to “waste” 1K but don’t want to regret switching away from Mac if I’m not considering something(s).)
Thank you!
